ence with the defense in the present

hence with the defense in the present
case.
Ogden Hiles opened the arguments for
the prosecution, starting It with reference
to a sort of breezy con to Berlin" conf
dence exhibited by the defendant. 1t
was clear that at least in the forums OF
conscience and morals the defendant was
a criminal offender, not only against the
laws of the United States, but against
the laws of mankind. To claim the right
of breaking such laws, be it by John
Jones, Joe Smith. or some other impos-
tor, was an equally gross assumption.
Mr.. Hiles read the Indictment and stated
that there was q double chicane with
which, aided by little perjury, the de-
fendant was trying to defeat the ends OF
Justice. g. G. Richards and F. S. Rich
ards objected to the prosecutions line IN
trying to argue to the jury that perjury
had been practiced in the giving of the
testimony, Hiles impeached the full
credibility of some, yea all of the wit
nesses who had been drilled into what he
called the freemasonry of scoundrelism
called the Mormon Church. His analysis
of the testimony, with the crushing side
blows at the local practices, was a scath-
ing rebuke OF the orgies of the Endow-
ment House.
After he closed his vigorous address
recess of ten minutes was taken, when G.
G. Richards opened the defence in neat
and quiet manner, trying to eliminate
extraneous matters from the considera-
ton of the case and claiming for his
client all the benefits OF reasonable
doubt.
The plan of the defense was to prove
that defendant and Florence Ridges
were married in Salt Lake City in 1884,
but did not live together for one year or
more. The defense was ingenious.
NOT GUILTY.
After an eloquent address in behalf of
the defendant by F. S. Richards and a
scorcher OF speech by. G. S. Varian,
the judge charged the jury in a clear
and unimpassioned manner. The jury
retired about 10 O'Clock and returned
shortly after o'clock this morning
with a verdict OF not guilty.
The court room and hallway had
been besieged all night by eager
crowds to learn of the progress OF the
deliberations of the jury. The public
verdict on the twelve mems verdict is
one of agreement to disagree" But the
end may not yet be.

The secret Of successful advertising Is
